Features: This book collects twenty-five of Wu Jingxiong's legal writings, broadly divided into three parts. Selected correspondence between Wu and Justice Holmes, as well as the renowned Wu Constitution, are included as appendices, providing valuable insights into Wu's life and thoughts. Throughout the book, there are abstract discussions on the fundamental concepts and spirit of law, as well as comparative observations on specific legal systems. The author's expertise lies in evaluating figures and tracing the evolution of thought. Whether exploring civil legislation and constitutional pathways or delving into the meaning of law and expressing personal reflections, every piece weaves together life and human nature, intertwining legal intent with legal systems through poetic and lyrical prose. Thus, the author not only presents a case study of intellectual thought but also records the winding history of Chinese legal studies in the 20th century. This book is suitable for legal scholars and law students, as well as for individuals from other disciplines who are interested in law.
